Hai An prepares to take over 2,702 TEU Green View

Hai An is preparing to take over the 2,702 TEU container vessel Green View before deploying the ship on a regional service connecting Vietnam, China and Thailand.

A team of 19 officers and crew members is scheduled to travel from Hai Phong to Ho Chi Minh City on 9 November. The team will board the vessel on 10 November and begin the formal takeover and operational familiarisation process.

The handover will take place at the anchorage area of Cat Lai Port in Ho Chi Minh City.

Crew completes safety training

Ahead of the takeover, Hai An Maritime Management and Hai An Container Transport organised a pre-boarding safety programme for the assigned crew on 6 November.

The training covered maritime safety, risk prevention, emergency response procedures and compliance with operational requirements. Crew members were also briefed on inspecting the vessel’s machinery, equipment and technical documentation.

Once aboard, the team will familiarise itself with the vessel’s systems and operating procedures. It will also identify any technical defects requiring repair before Green View enters commercial service.

Hai An said the crew will review the ship’s classification certificates and other statutory documents to confirm that it meets the applicable requirements.

Green View set for regional deployment

Tran Van Quyen, Director of Hai An Container Transport, discussed the takeover plan with the crew before their departure.

He also outlined plans to deploy Green View on Hai An’s Vietnam–China–Thailand service after the handover is completed.

The vessel takeover forms part of Hai An’s wider fleet development strategy. The Vietnamese carrier is expanding its fleet through a combination of vessel acquisitions and newbuilding projects in China.

Hai An recently approved an investment in two 1,900 TEU feeder vessels scheduled for delivery in 2029. It also has larger 7,100 TEU ships under construction as it expands its presence across the Intra-Asia market.
